Application filed April 23, 1883.

T0 aZZ whom, it 11mg concern: 4

Be it known that I, HENRY M. HAYNES, 0

Saxonville, county of Middlesex, and State of Massachusetts, have invented an Improvement 5 in Apparatus for Flanging or Upsetting Soles,

of which the following description, in connection with the accompanying drawings, is a specification, like letters on the drawings representing like parts.

This invention has for its object the construction of a machine upon which to flange or thicken the edge of a sole.

This invention consists, essentially, in a pattern or support for the sole and a pressing- I 5 plate beveled or cut away, as hereinafter described, to permit the edge of the sole to be upset and thickened when held between the pattern and presser, combined'with a roller co-operating therewith and rolling against the edge of the sole with a force sufficient to force theedge of the sole into the beveled or en-' larged space at the edge of the pattern-plate, and pressed to thicken the edge beyond the thickness of the remaining part of the same back of and between the said edges, as will be hereinafter described and shown in the accompanying drawings. v t

Figure 1 represents in partial plan viewa sufiicient portion of an apparatus, taken in connection with the mechanism represented in United States Patent No. 27 0,498, January 9, 1883, to which reference may be had, to illustrate my invention. Fig. 2 is a partial section, taken from the side of the machine, on

the line as m, Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a sectional detail, showing the sole rest or pattern and the pressing-plate above it, the roller for upseting the sole-edge, and part of the apparatus for carrying the said roller about the sole; and

0 Fig.4, a cross-section of a sole, showing its edges upset and thickened.

The frame A, post A, arm A, arm h pivoted thereon, ledge h at the end of said arm, cam O, cam-groove g, gear-wheel B, bevel- 5 pinion I), link d, levers c and d, latch e, solepattern f, pattern-rest H, rod V, nut V, cross bar or frame V, knuckle-joint W, shelf G, lever 1, barrel 1, spring-bolt z.,lever 7, and

(No model.)

pivot is are all substantially as in the said patent, and are moved in alike manner. The carrier-block 2, pivoted at k, is very much like the block marked K in the said patent, but it does not extend up so high; but it does have the same movement as does the block K in the patent. The block 2 has a hole to receive the stud 3, on which is placed the roller 4, and this roller is caused totravel about the pattern f, as are the block K and the several knives described in the said patent. The presser 8, carried by the rod V, is beveled about its edge at its under side, leaving a space at 5, into which the projecting edge of the leather sole 6 (seele'l't of Fig. 3) is pressed, as at the right of Fig. 3, by the action of the roller 4, thus causing the edge of the sole to be upset and thickened, as at 8. (See Fig. 4.) As in the said patent, the lever I will shown to rotate the pattern-plate, I may employ any other well-k no w 11 or equivalent mechanism.

If desired, the patterlrplatef may be bew eled. instead of the presser-plate, in which case the sole would be held with its finished side uppermost. If the pattern-p] ate were sta tionary and the roll were moved about it with a carriagethe converse of the construction shown I consider that it would come within the scope of this invention.

I claim- The rotating pattern and the presser-plate rotated, or instead of the particular means have a disk with attached rollers to enter the beveled or cut away, as described, to permit In tcstimonywhcreof Ihavesigned my name the sole to be upset or forced into. the space to this specification in the presence of two sub so made, combined with the roller, to act scribing Witnesses.

against the edge of and upset the sole into HENRY M. HAYNES. the said space and thicken the edge of the Witnesses: sole, and actuating means substantially as set C. G. TIIAYER,
